Definitely shaping up to be MCU's darkest hour. How did it all go south so fast? What happened to Kevin Feige's golden touch?
sharefirst of all, relax
none of it going south.
I think its a spare card, the one out when things get rough. the first time i watched the "Loki" series, i do think everything is turning south. but it is not. now i think Loki is cooler than any avengers. for me, i just enjoyed whatever is released
shareits not even released yet , what on earth are you talking about ? oh yeh i forgot, you shill for WB and cant wait to pounce when Disney hits a bump lol
shareBlack Widow and Shang Chi were flops. And this one looks like it's gonna be even worse.
Three flops in a row, that's big news for the MCU.
Shang chi was critically acclaimed and earned 423 million world wide , impressive under the circumstances
Black widow 379 million world wide , impressive under the circumstances
both in the top ten 2021 box office

Nope, wrong
shareBudget+Marketing, MCU movies are $250M to $350M, in some cases even more. Break even is somewhere between $500M and $700 (or as I said, even more).
Shang-Chi $423M and Black Window $379M are far from breaking even. That's called a FLOP.
With the most likely flop of Eternals, that would make three in a row.
prove it ? the budget was 15o million, the movie was a success
shareMCU movies actually cost 3-4 billion. Endgame lost billions. Kevin Feige has lost Disney tens of billions to date, which is why they keep promoting him, so no one realises how much of a flop every MCU movie is.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hey, that looks like sarcasm! Don't you know those WB groupies don't get sarcasm?
shareYou never quit, do you?
The "flops" are currently the 1st and 3rd highest-grossing films of the year domestically, and their third film debuted at 12th on the list. Spider-Man will almost certainly end up at the top. They'll release four films, and all four will be in the top 10 at the box office, including the 1st and 2nd place films.
Globally, the films have earned just under a billion dollars already, with Eternals only out 3 days, and Spider-Man yet to come.
Marvel has 4 more hits to add to their long list of successes.
and you're just a shill for shitty Star Wars and Marvel and can't wait to pounce when ever anyone calls out Star Wars and Marvel for being absolute shit fest franchises that a majority of moviegoers are finally opening their eyes to and now these turds can finally be flushed down the toilet. Eternals will absolutely flop and The Batman will continue to add to DC's success into the next year ....WB and DC in the sheets, Marvel and Star Wars on the street!
Hmmm pretty sure the last movie DC released bombed more than hitlers bunker , £167 million world wide lol , highest domestic box office 2021 is , a Disney movie, shang chi , black widow in 3rd place. Eternals hasn't even been released yet so you might want to chillax with absolute flop comment.
so to recap, star wars and marvel are without question the biggest most successful franchises operating at this moment in time, Mandalorian wins awards, book of fett and obi wan releasing and the film event of the year, Spider Man no way home
its furious for the win, again.
Game, set Match
Wanna revise your statement, furious?
It's been released now.
How 'bout those numbers?
70 million ww already , impressive numbers
sharelolololololol
shareUnder the current circumstances thats not bad
share161 million already , made more than your precious wbs the suicide squad in 3 days lol
shareThe Suicide Squad was a huge hit on HBO Max while this is only in theaters lol
shareHUGE HIT ON HBO MAX...YEAH,THAT'S A THING.
shareYEAH STREAMING SERVICES ARE KINDA A THING NOW.
shareYEAH...OF COURSE THEY ARE...EVERYONE HAS THEM...ALREADY...WHICH IS WHY THE NOTION OF A "HIT" ON HBO MAX IS RIDICULOUS...THE EFFORT TO SUPPORT A THEATRICAL FILM VS THE EFFORT TO PASSIVELY VIEW A FILM ON STREAMING...YOUR ORIGINAL POINT IS LAUGHABLE AT BEST.
share>YEAH STREAMING SERVICES ARE KINDA A THING NOW.
That's how a lot of people saw BW. Care to post the profits from that?
It wasnt a huge hit as it lost a shit load of money lol, WB are releasing failure after failure, thank god disney are propping up the cinema industry
shareYou don't think Disney is losing a shit load on Eternals?
lololololol
BOX OFFICE,DISNEY+,TOYS,BLU RAY,TIE INS,ETC ETC ETC....NOPE...I DON'T THINK DISNEY WILL LOSE A SINGLE CENT.
shareThey're going to make another small fortune on this film, as they have on every previous film. Get real.
shareIts day 4 of release queen ffs and its made 161 million in those 4 days , it certainly wont under perform like WB movie, pre pandemic you would be lookimg at 800 million to 1 billion , if it makes 600 million thats a good performance, it will take years for the industry to get back to normal , so be realistic.
share1 so called misstep does not make a crisis
shareWhat universe are you living in? They've had three hit films during a global pandemic, and are dominating the box office yet again.
shareThey are crap movies , Avengers Endgame was the end of the MCU , get over it.
share4 movies released since end game , spiderman, black widow shang chi all good especially shang chi, watching eternals this week
shareEternals is far better than Endgame. If you aren't into them, so be it, but don't pretend Marvel has stopped creating great films, and making huge profits, just because of your own personal agenda against the company.
shareI have nothing against Marvel , but how will they manage to keep the MCU a success like it was in the first 3 phases without characters like Iron Man , Captain America , Hulk , Black Widow , Black Panther , Vision? All those characters are gone and there's no turning back.
They screwed everything by killing off too many major characters , there are so many comics storylines that they could do but it won't make any sense without those characters.
Why are those characters particularly important? Before those films were made, most people had never heard of any of those heroes other than the Hulk, and the Hulk film is widely considered the worst of the MCU. Even those who did know Iron Man or Vision existed were only vaguely aware of them. Had they launched the MCU with Dr. Strange, Shang Chi, and Ant-Man, the results would have been the same, and now you'd be complaining that Captain America and Iron Man will never live up to Shang Chi and Ant-Man's successes.
The success of the MCU has always been about the quality of the films, not the popularity of the heroes. Consider the Guardians of the Galaxy. I grew up reading Marvel Comics, and even I didn't know who they were. I went into that film with trepidation, only giving it the benefit of the doubt because of how great the previous MCU offerings had been. Like most who saw it, I loved it, and now the Guardians of the Galaxy are A-List heroes, known and loved the world over.
